Figured I'd post up a build thread on here.

LS2 Timing Chain
Ported, Polished and bump stop modded stock throttle body
MTI Clear lid
LPP Stainless Steel Long Tubes
LPP Stainless Steel ORY (changing soon)
LPP Stainless Steel Resonator dumped before the axle (changing soon)

Suspension:
KYB AGX Struts and Shocks
Strano Springs
Suspension Techniques Swaybars (1 3/8th in. Front, 1 in. Rear) with Poly Bushings and Endlinks
UMI Adjustable Lower Control Arms
UMI Lower Control Relocation Brackets

Transmission/Drivetrain:
Spec stage 2+ clutch

Nice numbers. My Patriot 225/229 made 360/346 on a Mustang Dyno.. It's good to see it makes 400+ with those heads on a Dynojet

I'm lookin at getting LPP headers/ory. Is there any reason in particular why you wanted ARH instead of LPP?

Quality. LPP stuff is cheaply made and doesn't last long enougb for me. ARH is top quality and will last me a long time.

Where are you located? I have lpp headers and ory just sitting in my shed now that I have arh stuff

Had i known about this build I woulda gladly let you borrow my garage and tools seeing that everything done to my car was done inside of it by me. And I'm not jealous of the power someone else built for you, Johnny poops.

lmao don't get mad buddy.


I'm not driving all the way upstate to use your garage. When I have my own house and garage I'll install a lift and work on my car myself. Until then, I'll gladly pay someone who knows what they are doing to do it right.
